Does is really working? Can i update bios with µGuru Flashmenu? What Cpu's this upgrade support?

/edit

Now it flashed and no problems. But what difference this will have an earlier version of BIOS? Changelog isn't in the .zip

do you have a quad core cpu like q9550 or higher, this bios was mainly supposed to bring support for q9000 and qx9000 quad core support to aw9d-max

Sorry! I haven't, but i will check if i could get somewhere 9xxx CPU. Hopefully they works.

Last BIOS update was 2008. Wasn't the GTX460 release this year? I doubt any bios will make a difference.

What problem? I have 260GTX and that releases in: 2008. What kind of problem you have? Is this problem only 460 GTX? Did you try another? Examples: Radeon 6870? Or 580 GTX?

yup..Aw9d-max bios 17 can't support GTX460 768mb version
it will stuck at POST 5b,
downgrade to Bios 15 and it boot successfully!
Never try the card u mention.
before i get my GTX460,i using 8800GTS 512MB and its work like a charm
the problem is with the Bios 15,my E7500 proc not detectable by the mobo.
fortunately i got E2180 along with me,

Ok, i had now Q6600 and works well I will test overclocking to weekend. If Overclocking works fine in 18 bios.

i'm yet to test a Q8400 quadcore on this new bios but once i do get around to fiting this bloody thing i'll update you all on performance and stability tests..
